6.3 Human and Labor Rights
One of our priorities is to provide our employees with
a conducive environment in which they can learn and
improve themselves as they advance their careers and
achieve their life goals.
Our engagement with Global Business Initiative
on Human Rights (GBI) has aided our pursuit to
continuously enhance our best practices. In tandem
with our commitment to build a community with respect
and dignity, we have also:
■ Invested millions of dollars to upgrade dormitories,
cafeterias and safety standards across our facilities
in China to provide employees with more conducive
work and living environments
■ Established extensive labor relations programs
to build a positive work environment that fosters
teamwork, facilitates learning, and promotes open
communications
■ Implemented “Mutual Respect” program in China
that promotes team building and nurtures a culture
of trust and respect in the workplace
■ Conducted regular employee communication
sessions to facilitate dialogues between senior
leadership and employees
■ Held regular recreational, social, and community
service activities to improve the health and
well-being of our employees
■ Established career enhancement programs
designed to facilitate employee career progression
within the company.
At Flextronics we are committed to respecting the
Labor and Human Rights of all our employees through
the following principles which are clearly spelled out in
our Flextronics Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
(CoBCE):
■ Freely Chosen Employment. Our employees work
at Flextronics of their own free will and are free to
leave the company upon reasonable notice under
the terms of their labor contract. Our employment
contracts are voluntary agreements and are
free from forced, bonded, any form of slavery or
involuntary imprisonment jobs. We will ensure that
any risk of human trafficking is mitigated at our
operations and at our supply chain.
■ No Child Labor. We will comply with all
appropriate local and international regulations on
the restriction on the employment of child labor.
■ Benefits and Wages. We will ensure that the
compensation and benefits for our employees
comply or exceed the minimum legal requirements
of the country where employees are employed.
■ Working Hours. We will comply with local
working hours requirements or the EICC guideline,
whichever is lower. Overtime work is voluntary and
employees are compensated for overtime work in
accordance with local laws.
■ Equal Opportunity and No Discrimination. We
will ensure our hiring, compensation, training,
promotion, termination and retirement policies
and practices do not discriminate on the basis of
race, caste, national origin, religion, age, disability,

membership or political affiliation.
■ Harassment and Abuse. We will not tolerate
any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal
harassment or abuse towards our employees,
suppliers or vendors.
